@NPR marketplace says a small farm increases income 20% by welcoming farm tourists. Agritourism is a $billion industry in the U.S. #NutrientValueChains https://t.co/7rknhLbdi3
Los Angeles, California, starts composting residential food waste for farm & other use. Now 40,000 households, aiming for 750,000 at 3,000 tons per day. Good for #health, #climate, #biodiversity. Nutrient cycling and #NutrientValueChains! @latimes https://t.co/eNLyl1dL8V
Farmers in Missouri USA: Growing trees on cattle farms "...make cows healthier and bring in more money when they're sold", and combines "...raising cattle, growing foods like apples or walnuts, and a timber business" #NutrientValueChains@stlpublicradio https://t.co/eGnBk2vnAl
BBC just summarized critical relationships between food quality, nutrients in farming, and the health of land. We'd add several science & economics observations from leading entrepreneurs. #NutrientValueChains https://t.co/vDbJUOq3Ht
@MattWalshBlog No, I don’t remember that. They stopped talking about it only after we actually fixed the problem, with a lot of innovation and hard work and public-private collaboration in the USA and around the world.
So.. we have some news @giyireland - this September 10/11 we're running the harvest festival for @WaterfordCounci and reimagining it as a festival of regenerative food. https://t.co/fz1ME64BGm

We promote the big health, enviro & food benefits of focusing action on nutrient cycling between land and people. #NutrientValueChains. After many years, war & climate now point to this widely available fertilizer! @WorldToilet@Peepoople@Peecyclers https://t.co/4dPrDjIadd
Yes and...agroecology is not just a question of efficiency vs. ethics, but immense economic opportunity! It incentives so many people to produce such diversity of social goods, thus is indeed "inherently emancipatory and democratic." #NutrientValueChains https://t.co/M80Me4xgc7
€ 1 billion investment fund: Somebody with money is now seeing financial potential in stimulating natural nutrient cycles! We've been calling it #NutrientValueChains for 8 years. @Unilever https://t.co/kbfMmtBDtm
@mainecalling Tuned in late to your show, but check out our national service, based in Maine, that finds presence & density of invasive species by testing local bee pollen to identify all plants on 1800 acre sites. https://t.co/8EfaOXdB7E or [email protected] in Bath, Maine
@RobbFraley In environmental circles I've not understood Borlaug as a villain, rather those businesspeople who monopolized control of the technology for big profits in ways that creates dependency among farmers and communities, with the environment as one of their victims.
#EarthDay2022 I've focused 30+ years on overlaps of enviro & human wellbeing. I've achieved some good things, including a couple world's-firsts. But I've never seen as much promise as emerging economics of natural nutrient relationships between land & people! #NutrientValueChains
“What we’re throwing away in our garbage contains a LOT of valuable material.” Electricity. Compost. Reduced landfill costs. Reduced pollution. Each household generate 8 pounds per week. #NutrientValueChains@hereandnow https://t.co/h5Rnw1F7Dg
It’s validating to see the economics of nutrient-cycling between land and people get increasing attention by investors and press, after 8+ years focus on spreading the business insights. $4.7m in this case! Policymakers soon. #NutrientValueChains https://t.co/2vdu4Rwazg
Call to Action 5 calls for the redirection of finance toward measures that accelerate systems transformation. @COMACO_Zambia strategically channels financial flows to smallholder farmers through innovative market incentives. Find out more: https://t.co/L7NcqK8d6a
